The first game of the day comes from the Steelyard and features two sides at the top of the bottom half of the table. Pohang Steelers and Jeonnam Dragons. Pohang came from behind to beat Gwangju during the week breaking a 4 game losing run. Jeonnam Dragons also won during the week, beating a poor Sangju Sangmu 2-0, for their 2nd win in 4 games.Prediction: 1 – 1
Neither side see firing on all cylinders, and we think both maybe happy with a draw.

Jeonbuk Hyundai vs. Ulsan Hyundai @ 7pm

The second game of the day is the big Hyundai derby between Jeonbuk Hyundai and Ulsan Hyundai. This is also a top of the table clash. Current league leaders Jeonbuk Hyundai eased past Incheon United 3-1 on Wednesday extending their winning run to 4 games. Ulsan Hyundai on the other hand drew against Suwon and prior to take drew against Incheon United, losing ground on the leaders.Prediction: 2 – 1
Jeonbuk are on fantastic form and although Ulsan are hard to beat we see Jeonbuk taking the W.

Sangju Sangmu vs. Gangwon @ 7pm

The the final game of the weekend is between Sangju Sangmu and Gangwon. Sangju Sangmu have not been having the best of luck recently losing their last 4 games on the bounce. Gangwon have also been struggling losing their last 3 games. So it’s obvious that both sides will be looking to break their poor runs.Prediction: 1 – 1
This really could go either way, so we think a draw is the likely outcome.
